This device is quite old and, my understanding is that it is end of life. I would be asking if you can get a service agreement on it because buying drums and toners for that model can be quite expensive if you aren't a Xerox dealer

Although 'old' and discontinued by Xerox, there are still thousands of them in regular use and the consumables (toner, drums, corotron etc) are available and not a bad price - not in KM price brackets but cheaper than those for the newer 550/560 lol

I'm actually getting a set of new ones with the machine but appreciate your input.
